(for TMJ) This soup is great for dipping bread in - it will soften into almost a mush - if you don't mind the texture.

    Really good recipe. I added 3 cups of white beans (blended) into the soup. It really made the soup thicker and added lots of protein. Also added 1 tsp cayanne and 1 tbl brown sugar. Really Good, thanks for the recipe. - 3/3/10

    I made this for supper. I scaled it down to four servings. I also entered it in my Mastercook program and used 1% milk. I got 86 calories per serving and 410 mg sodium per serving. It was very good as is but I did add a little sugar to the leftovers (amounting to 1/2 teaspoon per four servings). - 5/16/09

    For fuller body without the added fat try using evaporated skim milk. We love it that way! Thanks for a very flavorful and unique spin on tomato soup. - 12/6/09

    ***use a hand-held immersion blender*** -right in the cooking pot instead of transferring hot soup to your big blender - 5/30/10
